CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 386,650, dated July 24,1888.

Application filed April 2S, 1888. Serial No. 272,119.

To @ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, OBADIAH G. NEWTON, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Trenton, in the county of Grundy and State ofMissouri, have invented certain new .and useful Improvements in Ghurns,of which the following is a specification, reference being had thereinto the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in churns,and has for its object to produce a churn which shall be simple anddurable and by means of which butter may be made in a very short timewith little power.

The novelty resides in the peculiarities of construction and in thecombinations, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fullyhereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then specificallydefined in the appended claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisspecification, and in which-- Figure l is a perspective View of a churnprovided with niyimprovements, and Fig. 2 is a central vertical section.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates achurn-body, which may be of any approved construction and provided withears a, which engage the ends of the bail B, formed preferably ofspring-wire, with the coils Z1.

C is a disk or cover provided upon its under face with an annularchannel, c, to engage with the top of the churn-body and form a tightjoint to prevent the escape of any ofthe contents of the churn.

Rising centrally from the cover C is the standard D, to which is pivotedthe cam-lever d, designed to engage the bail, and thus lock the coverand its attached parts in position. Rising from the cover to one side ofthe standard D, but parallel therewith, is the standard E. In the upperends of the standards D E is journaled the shaft e, and on this shaft isthe main drive wheel or pulley F, provided with a peripheral groove orchannel, f. The

(No model.)

extended end of this shaft is provided with a suitable crank and handleby which it is turned.

.Iournaled in the standards D E, beneath the shaft e and paralleltherewith, is the shaft g, and on this shaft is the wheel or pulley G,having two separate peripheral channels.

Secured to the standard D a short distance above the top of the cover isa erossbar, H, having its ends bifurcated horizontally, and in the endsof this cross-bar are jonrnaled the upper ends of the dashershaftsLwhich work loosely through holes in the cover and near their upperends, in the bifurcations of the cross-bar, have secured thereto thegrooved pulleys J.

K is an endless cord, chain, or belt passed around the main drive wheelor pulley F in the peripheral groove therein, thence around the wheel G,passing in one direction over one of the grooves therein and in theopposite direction over the other groove, and thence eX- tending inopposite directions over the pulleys J on the dasher-shafts, as shown.

The beaters L are formed in the following manner: Extending laterallyfrom the beatershafts, near their lower ends, are the rods Z, which arenot arranged in the same vertical plane-that is, the lower series ofrods is a little out of the vertical line of the upper ones, so that thebeater-bars M, which are secured to said rods, shall be curved, asshown, by which arrangement the beaters have a tendency to throw up thecream and assist greatly in the operation of churning.

The operation is so apparent that a description thereof is not deemednecessary.

I attach import-ance t0 my peculiar arrangement of pulleys andcord,whereby I am enabled to provide a very compact efficient motor, theuse of the double-grooved pulley being especially important in thisconnection.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isM

The combination,with the cover, the standards D and E rising therefrom,and the horizontal shafts supported in said standards, of the maindrive-pulley and the double-grooved pulley on said shafts, the cross-baron said In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of twoWitnesses.
